ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is announcing the following 
web-based public workshop entitled, ``Field Testing and Verification 
for Project DE-EE0006789, [Assimilation of Wave Imaging Radar 
Observations for Real-time Wave-by-Wave Forecasting]''. The purpose of 
the meeting is for DOE to obtain industry feedback regarding field 
testing and verification of the wave-by-wave forecasting system under 
development.

DATES: The public workshop will be held via webinar on Tuesday, 
February 16, from 1:00 p.m. EST-4:00 p.m. EST.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held via webinar. Please register for 
the webinar in advance at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2296218256164279042.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions may be directed to Tim 
Ramsey, Department of Energy at (240) 562-1758 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Purpose of the Meeting

    The DOE is supporting a project through Oregon State University 
(OSU) to develop and assess the performance of a method for using wave-
resolving marine radar to provide all weather, large-area, phase-
resolved, wave forecasts for wave energy converter control 
applications. The target time horizon for the forecasts will be 3-5 
minutes (min) and the target spatial domain will be approximately 3-5 
kilometers (km) on a side. A wave forecasting system based on wave-
resolving marine radar data will be developed and implemented. The main 
components of the system are a wave imaging marine radar, a phase-
resolving linear wave model based on Mild Slope Equations (Polar-MSE), 
and a variational inversion algorithm which produces the wave forecast 
via estimation of the offshore wave boundary conditions. Presently, the 
algorithm is being validated via testing using synthetic data and 
comparison to a limited set of in situ observations. The purpose of the 
meeting is for DOE and OSU to obtain feedback from the marine renewable 
energy industry regarding field testing and verification of the wave-
by-wave forecasting system under development.

Public Participation

    Members of the public are welcome to attend the workshop. 
Registration is free and persons interested in attending this public 
workshop must register online by 1:00 p.m. EST, February 16, 2016. To

    The objective of the meeting is to ask for public input regarding 
the project described above. To that end, it would be most helpful if 
members of the public provide information based on their personal 
experience, individual advice, and facts regarding this topic. It is 
not the objective of this meeting to obtain any group position or 
consensus. Rather, the DOE is seeking as many recommendations as 
possible from all individuals at this meeting.
